For the past decade, our company has sought to add value to not only the lives of our clients, but also the professional and personal lives of our team members. Our local sales team is seeking to expand into several new markets, and we are searching for a current or former athlete with a competitive mindset to join our unconventional and dynamic team.
Athletes are constantly looking for ways to challenge themselves, and "nothing worth having is achieved without effort," which athletes understand all too well. This sales role with our team is highly independent, but you're never alone; the team is always supporting you in the background. If you are someone who excels at pushing past the ugly on tough days, staying focused on your goals, and not getting discouraged by the grind, a career here may be a great fit for you. This is a challenging position that will be incredibly rewarding for the right individual.
